SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL

Hearing that the old man was so angry that he was hospitalized, Ben also felt a little apprehensive!

He couldn't imagine what kind of storm he would face if he went home now…

Therefore, Ben immediately agreed to his mother's suggestion.

"Then I won't go back today. I'll go to Grandpa's house later."

On the other end of the phone, his mother's instructions came:

"Don't go empty-handed. I'll transfer some money to you. Buy something to take with you, or else your grandpa will break your legs when he finds out what stupid things you've done…"

Ben looked embarrassed.

"Okay, Mom, I got it."

Seeing that his mother didn't respond, Ben said, "Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first!"

Finally, his mother on the other end of the phone couldn't hold back and asked,

"Son, what were you thinking? The Natural System Devil Fruit is so precious. How could you be willing to give it to someone else?"

Ben didn't know how to answer this question…

Hearing his silence, his mother's voice came again,

"They said you did this because you like that girl from the Henry family. Is this true?"

Ben: "..."

He suddenly realized that, apart from this excuse, he couldn't find any other reason to explain his behavior.

So, he could only bite the bullet and admit it.

"I guess so…"

"My silly son! If you really like him, you should be the one eating the Flare-Flare Fruit!"

Seeming afraid that her son wouldn't understand, his mother took the initiative to say,

"Mom has been there. I know women admire the strong. In a marriage, a family where the husband is stronger than the wife will be harmonious and happy. But couples where the woman is more outstanding than the man often don't last long. Even if that boy from the Henry family is grateful for your actions now and really falls for you, you won't be able to keep him. Because after he calms down, he'll realize the gap between you is too big, and he'll probably still look down on you—unless he's really a love-struck fool."

Hearing these words, Ben was filled with emotion.

This mother is very wise!

At least his mother on Earth in his previous life didn't have such insight.

Ben also agreed with his mother's words.

However…

He didn't know what to say.

Because it was he who really profited from the exchange of extraordinary opportunities with Leo. Leo was actually the one who suffered a loss.

Of course, it couldn't be said that he scammed Leo.

After all, only he knew the secrets of the Kryptonians, and that Kryptonian Bloodline Card could only be developed in his hands.

If he hadn't used the Flare-Flare Fruit to exchange it, Leo would most likely have given up that card and become an ordinary person.

Now that Leo had the Flare-Flare Fruit, Ben had also obtained the long-awaited Great Superman bloodline… a win-win!

"Mom! Thank you for telling me this. I understand."

Ben could only say this.

Unexpectedly, his mother on the other end of the phone suddenly became angry:

"You know my ass!"

This sentence was very harsh.

Ben was startled!

"Mom, what's wrong?" Ben asked quickly.

"Your dad just told me that you also fused that useless Kryptonian Bloodline Card in front of everyone… Is, is this true?"

It could be heard that his mother's tone was trembling with fear.

Ben broke out in a cold sweat!

He originally thought that his mother should have known this for a long time. He didn't expect her to only find out now?

"It's true…"

"Why are you so stupid!!!"

Just by listening to her voice, it was clear that his mother on the other end of the phone was both angry and anxious at this moment.

Ben had a headache.

He didn't know what to say.

"Come back!" his mother suddenly said, "The TV station has already broadcast your story as headline news. You're about to become famous all over the country. Don't go to your grandpa's house and embarrass yourself."

"Ah! This…"

Ben felt his scalp tingle again.

The local TV station is really impolite!

Couldn't they broadcast it later? Why are they in such a hurry to broadcast it?

His mother thought Ben was afraid of being beaten when he came back and said sadly,

"Come back! Your dad doesn't want to hit you anymore. He said you're not long for this world and will pay the price for your stupidity soon…"

Towards the end, his mother was already sobbing on the phone.

Hearing his mother cry, Ben quickly said,

"Mom, don't worry, I'll come back right away. I'll explain everything to you clearly."

…

The phone hung up.

Ben immediately went to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and headed in the direction of his home.

A moment later.

He arrived at a high-end residential area and, following his memory, walked to a townhouse.

This residential area had just opened, and Grandpa Robert had spent most of his savings to buy five villas in one go.

Four of the townhouses were given to his four sons.

A detached villa was left for Grandpa himself, located behind the four villas, very close by.

Grandpa used this method to tell his four sons that they were four brothers whose bones were connected! He hoped that the four brothers could work together and help each other.

In fact, Grandpa had indeed achieved this.

In Ben's memory, his father and his brothers had always had a harmonious relationship.

At this moment.

Ben happened to meet his uncle, who was returning from the hospital just as he arrived at the villa.

His uncle looked at him with a "disappointed" expression, opened his mouth several times to scold him, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

He just patted Ben's shoulder heavily and said,

"I just heard your mom crying in the house. Go back and see her quickly…"

Hearing this, Ben immediately ran back home.

His house was the third of the four townhouses.

At this moment, the yard and the gate of the house were open.

As soon as he entered, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa in the living room.

When he saw the middle-aged man's extremely familiar face, he couldn't help but shout.

"Dad?"

This was completely Ben's subconscious outburst.

The middle-aged man's face was exactly the same as his father's on Earth.

The only differences were that their lives were different. One was dark and thin, and the other had a ruddy complexion.

Now, Ben could basically confirm that he had transmigrated to another world as himself!

However…

After he finished shouting, he realized that his father's face was livid and he was glaring at him fiercely.

Although Ben's mental age was nearly thirty years old, he was still a little apprehensive in the face of his father's rage.

This was a pressure from the bloodline, and it had nothing to do with age…

Suddenly.

His father spoke.

"I gave you your name. I gave you the character 'Ben' because I wanted you to fight for something, to fight for a glimmer of hope! Because the world is dangerous, you have to fight!"

Speaking of this, his father's expression suddenly became painful:

"But I never expected that a heaven-defying opportunity would be sent into your hands, and you could just give it away to someone else, and still choose a dead end without knowing what it means. You…"
